Arts And Culture

Mission Statement for Omagh District Council's Arts and Cultural Service

Omagh District Council is committed to supporting and encouraging the development of, and participation in, arts & cultural activites by all sections of the community.

Omagh District Council recognises Arts and Culture as one of its distinct service units, managed under the Arts and Tourism Department. The Department is managed by Frank Sweeney, and the Arts Development Officer is Jean Brennan.

The council has a statutory responsibility under the Recreation and Youth Service (N.I.) Order 1973, amended in 1986, which states that "each council will provide adequate facilities for social, physical, cultural and sporting activities."
